What is Data Visualisation?

FFunction is a Montréal-based company specializing in user interfaces and data visualization.

In an interview with ReadWrite FF Function gives a short description of what data visualisation should do. It reminds us a lot of the long discussions in official statistics:

‘Visualization should reveal hidden patterns and trends within the data. It should explore a topic, help make a discovery or tell a story. Whatever the goal, you have to turn the data into information that people can understand.’
